Dani is secretly arranging a surprise for Garry; on the way to get some milk, Garry calls at Britt’s, where she is frantically cooking for the party tomorrow. She complains that Siôn does not have another woman, he has a chapel, and is renovating the vestry. Meanwhile Dani tells Gethin, who is working in the pit under a car, they are going to Swansea, and she wants him to drive. She then tells Britt she has a surprise for Garry, but Britt is unimpressed, and Garry says he must obey “the boss”.
They arrive at the waterside in Swansea, and go to the restaurant on the 28th floor of the Meridian Tower, where Gwern says, “Wow!” at the view of the city and coastline.
Garry says Dani is crazy, doing this, and then remarks to Gethin that you could do some damage to someone, if you threw them off here. Garry also thinks he has vertigo, but Gethin corrects him; fear of heights is Acrophobia. After watching them kissing, Gethin says he will have the duck, “Posh restaurants always have duck.” Garry cannot believe that Dani organised all this, as no-one has ever done anything like this for him before. Dani says, “I love you, Garry Monk!” but he in his turn remains silent.

As a parcel is delivered to Britt, she receives a text from Garry, telling her where he is, but again she is not happy about it. Dani tells Gethin she is worried about telling Garry she loves him; he says she should think before speaking, but, “If you love him, go for it!”
When they get home, Gethin says he is surprised, as he thought they just had a convenient arrangement: she was looking for some comfort, and Garry was looking for a mother for Gwern, and he muses that, “Love is a complicated little word.” After Dani assures him that Brandon was her boyfriend, not a “father figure”, Gethin maintains you never know where you are with Garry; he has treated her well, but remembers how he was with Sheryl.
Garry is telling Britt about the outing, and that he feels he is not good enough for her; he is not sure he can treat her the way she deserves. Britt reminds him he is not the easiest person, but only he can decide whether he is ready for that kind of commitment; he looks in a dictionary. Outside, he sees Gethin, who says there is nothing worse that a woman discussing her emotions; he now knows about their romantic moments, and tells Garry she does not expect a ring — yet. Garry shows no signs of his erstwhile anger, but simply says, “Acrophobia — you were right!” and walks off. When he reaches the flat, he says it means the world to him, her organising today’s surprise. Dani asks him if he is worried about what she said to him; he answers, “No.”
She repeats, “I mean it – I love you!” and they hug, but Dani still looks nervous, and Garry remains silent.
